Web 2.0 and Photography Reflection


Pam Coats – Web 2.0 Reflection

Why is Web 2.0 so popular today? It is simple, cheap and easy to use?

My students are more technologically advanced than I am often times, I am ashamed to say. They have grown up with technology. I can remember when PacMan was introduced!

What two Web 2.0 tools have you found of value to you in your classroom?

Video clips, podcasting, scrapblog, cameras in general. I am not sure if all my students have used cameras before.

How would you use the tools identified above?

I would use podcasting for my auditory learners or students who need extra time and help on certain projects. Video clips could be used in the same way, for remediation or instruction. Both could also be used as a creation project for gifted --which is what I am planning to do.
